Clemson is not being punished...

I just feel the committe can look at their schedule and assume they will win out while at least two teams in front of them will lose...

Having that #4 next to Penn St going into Ohio St just increases ratings for that game.

2 and 3 play this week...it all works out

I don’t think a 4 opposed to a 5 next to Penn St is gonna change the ratings. Barring a upset it’s gonna be a top 5 matchup regardless and probably top 3 since Bama LSU play this week. All this shyt gonna shake out anyways

There is no way that Minnesota is doing that, but let’s say they did as do Baylor, baylor is a conference champ period they have to let an undefeated champ in

@Rekkapryde

You two are moving on the maxim that the committee views all P5s conferences equally and in that case, no matter what the wins look like, an undefeated P5 champ would leap 1-loss teams that are better in all other areas (advanced stats, SoR, SoS, FPI, eye-test, etc). Historically, they’ve shown they don’t. Yeah, there's never been an undefeated P5 conference champion to be left out, but the probability of a undefeated P5 champ is unlikely in the first place. In the 5 years of the CFP, there has only been 5 undefeated P5 Champs and 4 of them were Clemson/Bama who cleared the other metrics. The other team was a defending champion FSU who beat a Notre Dame team in non-conference play and even then was placed at #3 behind two 1-loss teams because they didn't look as good as Bama nor Oregon.

This is also why we all agree it's unlikely that Baylor will win out with their remaining schedule. They're not as good as the teams they are playing. Still, if they miraculously scrapes by, I doubt they get rewarded a playoff spot off just being undefeated alone. They need to blow out those teams given their resume to be in the discussion.

We're getting two 2 vs. 3 matchups in the span of a few weeks from each other.

LSU vs. Bama
OSU vs. Pedo

You think he was talking bout me or the guy who calls for his 10 game winning coach to be fired after just 1 loss, then runs and gets a Urban avi

Already said the chances of Baylor beating an OU team twice ain't happening...

TCU, OU, and Texas are their last 3 games. They win out and best Oklahoma again to remain undefeated.... They getting in.

Now the chances of that happening are
But if they do...... Get mad

Lol jumping from the scenario you brought up in the first place to saying it won’t happen doesn’t help your argument here. keep juelzing though.

Nobody will be mad except fans who expect an undefeated P5 champ to be a playoff lock off wins alone. That’s one of the main reasons why we have a committee in the first place. To avoid this nonsense.

You think he was talking bout me or the guy who calls for his 10 game winning coach to be fired after just 1 loss, then runs and gets a Urban avi

So now he's a good coach cause he won 10 straight?

Is that what you're saying?

And there aint nothing wrong with upgrading.
